Medav radio monitoring, direction finding and geo-location For COMINT and C-ESM

Contact

Saab’s Radio Monitoring and Surveillance (RMS) offer includes modular and scalable solutions for detecting and classifying of radio emitters. Radio monitoring gives a picture of the complete wideband scenario for high frequency (HF), very/ultra-high frequency (VUHF), and super-high frequency (SHF) bands.

The emitter’s direction and geo-location can be detected and the transmitted signal can be demodulated and decoded. Areas of use include border surveillance, electronic support measures delivering situational awareness, as well as strategic applications. The solutions have been developed for military as well as civilian use.

Features

Saab’s RMS offer comprises a set of products and applications. They are based on software (SDIA – software defined intelligence architecture):

Medav ARS-8000 automated radio monitoring

Medav CRS-8000 tactical direction finding

Medav Marie radio monitoring workplace solution

Medav OC-6040 signal analyser

Medav MFT tuner family

Medav KCS network and sensor management system

Medav IFS-8000 scalable information fusion system

Medav ARS-8000 automated radio monitoring

This radio reconnaissance system allows for automated processing of radio signals in HF, VUHF and SHF. It automatically analyses all signals available in the complete spectrum. The design is modular and can be used for the processing of up to 1.000 channels in parallel.

Processing is done both on wideband and narrowband signals. The signals are automatically detected, classified and analysed. The signals can be stored and further used for detailed offline analysis. Special features are SRDF (super resolution direction finding) and ADBF (adaptive digital beam forming).

Medav CRS-8000 tactical direction finding

This wideband scanning direction finding system can be used for both tactical and strategic applications. We offer a very good bearing accuracy over the full azimuth and a wide elevation. Map display and tracking are also part of the system.

Processing is done both on wideband and narrowband signals as well as storing and offline analysis. Special features are SRDF (super resolution direction finding) and ADBF (adaptive digital beam forming).

Medav OC-6040 signal analyser

This configurable multi-channel signal analyser support the analysis of radio signals, especially the demodulation and decoding of more than 200 transmission modes. Additionally, unknown signal types can be analysed and stored for further signal analysis. Also the analysis of OFDM signals is supported. A signal generator is included for the analysis of transmission channels.

Medav MFT tuner family

This cutting-edge modular family of tuners is designed for special COMINT needs and provides fast scanning and a high dynamic range. The multi-functional architecture allows the easy configuration for the monitoring of several channels or wideband direction finding for a different number of channels.

We have an installed base for international customers.

Medav KCS network and sensor management system

This network-centric sensor management system allows for the integration and control of devices into a large system network like border surveillance systems and other distributed systems. It allows for data fusion of sensor information and contributes to situational awareness. Different sensor types can be integrated; health control for all included systems is available.

Medav demodulators and decoders

More than 200 demodulators and decoders are provided to be integrated into radio monitoring products. They can be used inside Saab’s products and also in any other products due to the Virtual Device technology.

Medav SIPAC (Signals and Data Identification, Processing, Analysis and Classification) is a scalable system for the automated and interactive analysis of signals. In a framework environment, user-defined tasks and workflows process all incoming data. Both data and classification results are stored in the data base for retrieval requests. We provide technology for speaker and language identification in speech signals as well for text analysis. User-specific classifiers can be included as well. A training environment is included.

Medav IFS-8000 scalable information fusion system

This flexible and modular information fusion system provides the acquisition of information from different sensors and fuses the information into a unified data model. Automated data processing is provided where possible. Additionally, interactive analysis can be done by operators and analysts. High-level reports for decision support can be provided. Different tools for intelligence visualisation are provided.
